How do I get my search form's results to go to a target frame

[mrpickle]

I'm having trouble getting my search form's results to open in the frame I want.

The code I currently have is:

<form target="shopFrame" name="searchform" class="style14" onSubmit="return dosearch();">

Search:
<select name="sengines">

</select>
For:
<input type="text" name="searchterms">

<input type="submit" name="SearchSubmit" value="GO">
<br />
</form>

My target frame is shopFrame. I don't have much experience with forms and any help would be great.

If the target is set correctly it should work. Check your names match up.

forgot to mention that this is in the head part of the html file

<script language="JavaScript">
function dosearch() {
var sf=document.searchform;
var submitto = sf.sengines.options[sf.sengines.selectedIndex].value + escape(sf.searchterms.value);
window.location.href = submitto;
return false;
}
</script>

[scragar]

That's javascript then, and is posted in the wrong forum.

Either way, use Frame.location.href = 'url'; To redirect frames(grabbing the frame using whatever method you think is best, personally I'd use top.frames[...] to ensure compatibility...)

[mrpickle]

thanks. I changed the line window.location.href = submitto; to top.frames[1].location.href = submitto; and it works
